Sanctuary
When I walk down the street, Or stride through the halls, I can feel the isolation closing in about me, When I walk through a crowd, I stand out, When I sit down in class, I am alone, When I look for affection, I am rejected, I went through my life, With my ears laid back, And my tail between my legs, Watching friends become enemies, Seeing a world filled with hate, And a people filled with fear, I cried out for acceptance, And found only exile, I pleaded for compassion, And received only cruelty, I longed for happiness, But sank into depression, I was sure I was alone, An animal, a freak! A thing that society would not tolerate, I sulked to my classes, Wary of violence, And went through my life, Thinking my self inferior, I spent my life in my shadowed room, Or on my computer, Wishing every day, That I could find another like me, Then one day, On a random art search, I came upon club, I looked about and saw others like me! I was quiet and withdrawn, But then something happened, A tall black wolf sent me an email, He was asking for a picture, I eagerly took the job, and went straight to work, I finished the pic, And I was received with a smile, And from then on, I knew where I belonged, You accepted me with out question, You stayed with me through the hard times and the good, You offered support during tragedies, And in return, I was there for you, This is my home away from home, My place to be my self, A realm where I can free myself of confinements, And throw my head back and roar! This is my studio, My writers’ forum, My hangout, My place to belong, This is my one place to myself, My one place to be open, The place of my few true friends, This is my sanctuary.
